LFTs can maintain strength and stiffness across a broad temperature range and exhibit superior impact resistance and fatigue resistance compared to short fiber variants.  Specifically, LFTs demonstrate excellent impact performance even at high levels of stiffness, and these materials exhibit low creep compared to their short-fiber counterparts. In terms of impact resistance, at equivalent levels of reinforcement and using the same matrix material, an LFT formulation is typically about 70 percent higher than that of a short-fiber formulation, and it also has greater stiffness.

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA), while maintaining the excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability of acetal (POM). Polyketone is considered “eco-conscious” due to the reduced environmental impact of this base resin during the production process compared to PA6, PA66, and POM. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

The environmental impact of a final product can be traced back to the earliest stages of product development – during the concept or design phase. According to McKinsey & Company, the design process typically influences 80% of a product's sustainable impact on the environment. Here are some of the recent design trends that can increase part performance and its sustainability impact: 

Understanding your carbon footprint can be a great way to determine the environmental impact within your industry’s value chain. We’ll explain how each of these strategies can then result in reducing your environmental impact.  Raw material supplier: those dedicated to sourcing bio-based and recycled raw materials typically have a greater impact on reducing carbon emissions.
